The Process

CASINGS WANTED URGENTLY

STEP 1: Casing Inspection

Our process begins with sourcing high quality casings from all around Australia. An initial inspection is done to reject all older casings. The remaining casings are then thoroughly inspected for bead damage, cracks, tears or bruising. Any tyres that do not meet our stringent requirements are rejected.

STEP 2: Buffing

The tyre is then put on our buffing machine where it is checked for symmetry. Any out-of-round tyres are rejected. Remaining tyres are then machine buffed and prepared for a new layer of rubber.

STEP 3: New Toyo Hi-Tech Rubber

After buffing, the tyre is then inspected again for any faults. If it passes this inspection we apply a special bonding solution to prepare the tyre for the layers of new rubber. We only use Toyo Hi-Tech Retread Rubber. Toyo has a strong reputation in the manufacture of high performance car tyres and their compound technology flows through to their retread rubber. This tough and highly durable compound resists shreding and tearing on hardpack and rocks while still being soft enough to give great grip and avoid 'walking' or 'squirming'.

STEP 4: Moulding

The tyre then receives a special curing tube and is placed into a mould for the particular tyre size. The tyre is subjected to high air pressure and approximately 150 degree celcius heat for 40 - 50 minutes to bond the new rubber and casing together. After coming out of the mould it looks like a new tyre. It is inspected once more before being trimmed.
